Summoned by Bells, by John Betjeman. Neither major poetry nor the record of an extraordinary life, this autobiography in verse is nevertheless a singing recollection of what it was to live in an older England, and to be a young poet.
Sermons and Soda Water, by John O'Hara. Abandoning his attempt to write his own Remembrance of Things Past, he returns to his early task of concise social observation, and to his early excellence—in three related novellas.
